Ostrov nesmrtelných – Neff Ondřej (2023)

FINDING AN ANCIENT ARTIFACT MEANS SAVING THE MOON… At the end of the 20th century, the Chinese built a dizzying fortress on the Moon called the Island of the Immortals. Antiquarians Kuba Nedomý and his companion Grandpa Čuchák, with the support of the Wudang warrior Su Wang-li, searched in vain for this mystery until it fell into oblivion. It would have remained that way if the Baghdad Caliphate hadn't placed its Cloud above the lunar habitat of Arcadia and started siphoning increasingly large amounts of energy from it with tentacles. What initially seems like an object of interest for history enthusiasts suddenly becomes the key to the future of lunar habitats. The cards are dealt in such a way that the Baghdad Caliphate will win and dominate the Moon. The only obstacles to its plans are the stubbornness of Kuba Nedomý and the extraordinary abilities of the cyborg Grandpa Čuchák, half man and half robot with a brain connected to the lunar information network. Will betrayal and the sellout of cowards prevail, or will cleverness backed by the sword of an experienced warrior? ____ This will be answered in another standalone novel from the Arcadia cycle, which connects only through characters and setting to the previous four novels (The Moon of My Life, The Rock of My Life, The Star of My Life, Ultimus) and the collection Hu! Stories of Grandpa Čuchák.
